creating a more 'off' pink colour than folks think....

Chances are they mixed standard army red paint (or red lead primer) with standard army white paint, or red with sand or something, in simple proportions — like one tin of red plus one tin of white or sand.

Haven't seen a pink plastic build before and it'll be fun watching it with shades Scottie what with the bling and all you'll be adding on. :smiling5: Grabbing a seat with the wabble bunch.

Cheers,

Paul, my apologies. I have misled you on the colour that I remember. After giving it a lot of thought and getting my failing memory working I have realised that when the SAS guys came from up country down into Aden they did so in normal Landies, not their full on Pinkies. This explains why I thought there was not much of a pink tinge. Sorry. :angry:

If you can't find a colour that suits Paul try mixing your own. Magenta and white should get you near, or red & white with a dash of blue.

Cheers Andy, sounds good

I shall enjoy seeing you work your magic on this one Scottie, but I think you may need some dark glasses or you could get a bit of a headache!

Nick, The colour makes it very hard to see the detail or where things need cleaning up.

An older kit with a bit of bling and some tweaks in your very capable hands….I’m in

Thanks Si, I have said it before I have a lot more fun building these old ones than the new offerings.

The dusky mauve pink would fit better cause I'd presume the guys just grabbed some 'standard' vehicles and slapped a pink coloured paint over the top of the original bronze greeny colour, thus creating a more 'off' pink colour than folks think....and you've probably got the 'what the paint was mixed with' issue that would also affect the final colour (dunkelgelb anybody ????)

Chris, they were indeed sprayed over the factory deep bronze green. A lot were modified for their new role and over painted with the pink.

As usual, look forward to this one Scottie.

cheers Jack good to have you along.

Andy, there is that lol.

That may well have been the case.

John, not a problem at all mate I value your input.

[Allen Dewire]

I just caught this Bro. Looks like you're gonna have some fun building it. When I first saw your opening question, this came to mind,


Then I saw you were asking about which Paint color for the kit....My bad!!! Maybe you could put her in the driver's seat though...

Prost

Hi Paul.

I found this a good pink for the Pinkie.Quite subdued and easy to put a dusty wash over.The colour is described as Ham.
